I have lots of hobbies.

I drink wine, I eat cheese.

On this episode of the Commercial Break.

Would it be doing well now?

No. Country peddler? No. Mommy. Mommy.

See, my son's got to be in therapy.

Vicki Green the reason four therapists in the greater Atlanta area are making bank.

Well, anybody that knows me usually has to be in therapy for a certain amount of time to get over it.

The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now. Cats and kittens, welcome back to the Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is the Chief Amazement Officer. Chris and Joy hodley. Best to you, Chris. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. You like that one?

A chief amazement.

Officer.

Officer. Wow.

I'm amazed at the way I love you.

Great song.

It is a great song. Coming off of Mempho. Did you hear?

Did they play Amaze? They did, they did. Of course they did.

How do you even remember? I don't know, but there you go.

There was a lot of music there.

I've seen you in Mempho fest in the gear. Some people call it 6th gear. I call it twelveTH gear. Chrissy Hodley in full Mempho regalia. I've seen it from here.

There running here, there, wherever.

That's when the amazement truly comes out. I go, I'm amazed she's still standing straight up. That's what I'm amazed about.

But after the third day, I'm not. No, like, my feet are mean. I need to lay down.

Yeah. Last year, Astrid and I were in a hotel or two years ago, Astrid and I were in the same hotel as Chrissy and Jeff. And Chrissy's got this corner suite. It's just, like, overlooking know, downtown Banff. It's just beautiful, this beautiful new hotel. Chrissy misses her plane because of the jury duty that you had, if I'm not mistaken. Remember? I know. So Astrid and I have already been there for a day, and Chrissy shows up at, like what time do you show up? At, like, seven in the morning.

The production van came and picked me up from the airport. No, I got in that evening.

Oh, that night. That late that night. That's right.

Yeah, that Friday night. I came in hot.

You did come in hot. So I'd call Chrissy the next morning and I'm like, hey, let's get on the go. And you're like, I think I might just need a few minutes to take a nap, but come on down, come see my suite. And I walk in and Chrissy's eyes are like Cheshire cats. And I'm like, you should probably take a nap. And you're like, It's exactly what I'm going to.

But look at this bath I did. I take a bath in that bathtub every time. I love it.

Oh, good for you. It's a beautiful hotel. What's the name of that hotel?

The Memphian.

The Memphian. Lovely hotel.

It's cool. It's eclectic, too. It's got this gift shop thing, too, that I buy something from every year because I'm like, I want those sunglasses, I want that candle. They've got all this stuff that's like just for people that are coming in after party all day.

Yeah. And I do remember that lobby late at night being quite the place to be seen and to see that was a I'm going to Coachella to see Diplo. Do you and Jeff like when you do the whole Mempho thing? Does Jeff main? Jeff and you are mainly separated, like you do your own thing. Jeff is obviously very busy and then you guys kind of meet up at the end of the night.

Yeah, we meet mean, I have the access to go back to his trailer where he's doing lots of special production work and so I get to go back there. But yes, for the most part I'm like, I had to learn that years ago.

You got to be when I'm rolling.

With Jeff, I got to be self sufficient.

Absolutely. Yeah, I learned that too.

I have friends that are there. They come in, I'm hanging out with them, and then we meet up at kind of different points of the night too. Because he likes to see some of the shows too.

Sure.

Not the whole one, but he'll come and check it out, check out the bands that he helped curate.

And Jeff probably has to stay mainly on the straight and narrow oh, absolutely. For the whole time. Because he's in charge of all these people's lives and health and safety and all that. Yeah, like a technical question that doesn't need a lot of detail in answering, but just a question. When you're doing Memfo in 2023, is there extra layers of security that are not seen? Like, are they taking extra steps and precautions to make sure that no tragic crazy events happen?

Absolutely.

Very interesting. When I, for 15 seconds of my life, did live event production, we put on like, let's call it six or seven festivals where no more than 1000 people were ever in charge of my care was ever in charge of. But I did not learn until somebody stepped on a broken bottle that I probably shouldn't be headlong into a pile of cocaine, a keg of Bud Light, three hits of ecstasy, possibly some DMT. I did not learn my lesson until the day that I had to go to the hospital with one of the attendees. Till I learned my fucking lesson. And so did that guy, man. It was the happiest guy I've ever seen that had to have 300 stitches put in his foot. He was so fucked up that he didn't even know where he was. We literally had to drag a bleeding guy into an ambulance and then take.

Him to the local no glasses allowed these pasta.

That's another lesson that we learned.

There's a lot of little nuances and details that have been learned from whoever over the years.

Keep it plastic, baby. Keep it plastic.

The cans and the plastic.

Over the last couple of weeks, have you been keeping up with all the comings and goings of let me throw out a couple names and you tell me who you want to talk about.

Okay.

Jada Peak and Smith. Jada pinkett Smith. Britney Spears. Britney Spears. I think I'm most interested in and here's the most fascinating and coolest couple.

That has pete Davidson and his new girlfriend.

No. Pete Davidson.

I saw something about them. I was going to send it to you. I was like, whatever.

Who's his new girlfriend?

Oh, he's had a girlfriend now for like a couple of months. It's a new girl.

Is she like famous?

They were just there because he came and I guess I did not watch the Saturday Night Live. God damn thing. But they just started a new season. Yeah, 40 Eigth or 49th, which is crazy. But he was on there with Bad Bunny and he and his girlfriend went out afterwards and they were partying with Taylor Swift and her.

That fucking Taylor Swift, man. I'll tell you what, kelsey. Kelsey.

Kelsey Grammar.

Kelsey Grammar. That's right.

Kidding.

Taylor Swift's new boyfriend, kelsey Grammar. Check out his new old show Frasier on CBS.

Pete Davidson's new girlfriend is now kelsey Grammar. Kelsey Grammar. I don't put it by Pete Davidson.

God bless Pete, but God bless Taylor Swift in that absolute circus that's going on around her right now. That Chiefs game, it's got to be so hard for every other player on the Chiefs who gets zero attention, because every time, every time they cut away, Taylor Swift, Jimmy Kimmel, John Hamm was up there with them, I think it's just gotten out of control. I don't know. Maybe it's not unlike the Rat Pack back in the 50s or 60s when they would all go to Las Vegas. It just wasn't televised.

Social media. Yeah.

In my opinion, it's a little bit overkill. I'm a little bit over it. I don't want to see another picture of Taylor Swift in a Chiefs jersey. I just don't care all that much.

I know. Good for them is the way that I see it. Like, right.

Who.

She let them have their fun.

But I don't think that's the point here's. The point of why it's annoying to me is I don't think the point is just to leave them alone and have some fun. I think they very much are enjoying I think she is very much enjoying the PR circus that's going around. I think the NFL is eating it up. I think the television stations that are carrying the Chiefs love it because there is a lift that's going on in the viewership because they might catch a glimpse or they will catch a glimpse or maybe 15 fucking full minutes of Taylor Swift. I think the NFL loves it because it's bringing new eyeballs to a sport that may not have it's the most popular sport in the world. The NFL is besides soccer, it's the most popular sport in the world. And now they've got this whole new audience of younger, probably mostly female fans that are watching the NFL because Taylor is on there. It's softening up their image a little bit. They've got to love it. I don't think the point is just to leave them alone. You don't hear Taylor Swift saying, guys, listen, just enough is enough.

Let's cut it out. She doesn't say that because she understands how to navigate and manipulate PR better than maybe any celebrity currently alive. And I applaud her for that. It's a great skill to have, and she's doing it and done it beautifully. But I'm just a little bit annoyed by it.

I love the story.

I'm just annoyed that Taylor Swift's not dating me. That's all I'm annoyed by. I just want one day as boyfriend. I told Astrid, I don't even have to fuck her. I don't even want anything to do with her vagina. What I want is, I want the private plane. I want the all access. I want to see what it's like to scoot around. Paparazzi, did you hear about this place in Rhode Island or Maryland? They went to dinner, or maybe it was in Kansas City, I don't know. Don't worry about the facts. The facts, folks, they don't matter all that much. They went to dinner somewhere. It gets around in social media that she was seen entering the building, or Travis Kelsey was seen entering the building. Hundreds of ten to 15 year olds surround the restaurant and are literally like rats trying to find their way into a garbage can. They are opening the back door. They are trying to get in windows. They are ordering to go food so someone will open the door and they can all rush in. It was insanity. There are, like, neighbors that live in this neighborhood that were taking pictures and videos of all that was happening.

These kids were it was as if they were on ayahuasca and taking a trip.

I can only imagine, too, that this is kind of a sample back in the what the Beatles had, I guess.

Yeah.

They were the ones that girls were trying to break in. And true, people did I mean, George Harrison actually did have his house broken into. I mean, people get obsessive.

Or like Michael Jackson not like Michael Jackson dangling his baby over the balcony that one time. Do you remember that?

Paris Jackson, he dangles her over.

But the big difference is, no, they're not the same at all. The big difference is the Beatles didn't have social media to contend with. Right.

No. This is a whole new frontier.

So one simple word about Taylor being possibly somewhere, and all of a sudden, I can't imagine what that lifestyle must be like. And unfortunately, here at the commercial break, I don't think we're ever going to get a taste of that.

No, I don't want a taste of it.

I don't either.

I really don't.

I was talking over with my brother.

I like my privacy. I don't want everybody to know where I am at all times and what I'm eating and who I'm with. I like privacy.

No, I don't want any of that either.

And that's why I broadcast my life on the podcast.

Yeah, that's why you have your entire life as on the podcast. So my little brother Patrick is an executive at a company. He won't mention the company, but he's an executive at a company. And while you were gone, an executive. He's an executive.

Is he a big wig? I like saying big.

I'm an executive at my company, too.

I am too.

But I think he's an executive at an actual company, one that makes profit and stuff like that. Yeah, there's like 100 employees or whatever. So I call Patrick when we say, okay, let's get some guest hosts in here. And I called you and we talked it over.

And I was like, okay, let me full blessing. I was like, rally the troops. Everybody get in there. It'll be great for the listeners to hear the actual voice of some of.

The people we've been talking about in a different take. Right. But Patrick was like a wild card I was going to throw in there. Because Patrick is a pretty funny guy and he is the opposite of Brian, right? I don't know what a basket nut is or a basketball or whatever you call it. Patrick's all over basket nut. Basket nut.

You know, it's called a basketball.

I was going to say sports ball, but I'm just about over that word. So I think that word is done. We just put it in the sports ball. Sports ball? What is that? Sports ball. You haven't heard that? Sports ball? It's a thing. It's a meme. So I tell Patrick, I say, I'm.

Going to write this down. Things that Brian is over.

Things that Brian is over.

Taylor Swift coverage and sports ball.

Taylor Swift NFL coverage and sports ball. So I tell Patrick, I said, hey, come on the show. We'll have a good time. Patrick immediately says yes. He's like, absolutely, Brian. I'm all about it.

Well, he's still pissed because we dropped the episode in the very beginning of the show.

Well, let me explain to the listeners, because you never heard the episode, so you don't know it's the lost episode. It's way lost. Meaning I erased it. No chance of that. Making a canned episode. Patrick did an episode with us way at the back of the beginning of the pandemic. Unfortunately, we had some audio issues. We also happened to catch Patrick on like a Saturday afternoon in June when he was at the pool for four.

Or 5 hours before that's, right. His girlfriend showed up, too. They had but no, they'd been going down the Chattahoochee.

Oh.

Going down the chattahoochee.

I don't know why anybody would do that. There's, like, floating dead cows in the Chattahooch at once.

I'm good.

Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. I did it when I was a kid. I'm good.

Yes.

So I can only imagine how much more poop has collected in there since I was a kid. So Patrick came in hot in any way. In any case, the episode didn't air. He got upset about, like I say, pejoratively upset. He wasn't really upset, but he kind of busts my balls about it a lot. So I call him up the other day, hey, you want to come on? Yes, I do. Absolutely. And then when it's the day of, I'm like, hey, budy, what's up this time? That time? And he's like, Well, I'm just a little bit concerned about cancel culture. And I'm like, you give this podcast way too much fucking credit if you think anybody gives a shit about what you say on the commercial break. But it did make me realize that some people really don't want to be in the fray. Like, they really have zero interest in.

Being they want to listen to the fray.

They want to listen to it, but they don't want to be in it. Because obviously, when you put this stuff out there, it's never coming back. It's a literal bag of cats. Once the cats get out, they're not going back in the bag. And so I totally understood where he was coming from, but I have no interest in being that level of famous, like a Taylor Swift.

It just seems like, I guess, too, if you grow up with social media, which we did not from the get go, then you're just used to it, and you know how to use it to your advantage, and you know how to work with it, work around it, whatever. There would be pictures of me not doing things that were socially media acceptable. That being said, you know what? Something I thought about the other day, because I had to go through all these pictures. It looks like a bomb of pictures exploded in my upstairs room at my house, because Papa Joe yeah. And we had to put this memorial video together. And you got to go back through you got to go back through your phone. All the pictures there, the stuff with the albums, all this old stuff. It was very emotional, sure. Very crazy. But I come across a lot of funny pictures, too, because there was no photo editing at the time you developed the pictures. You didn't know what they were. And some come back funny, and I miss that.

I do miss that.

Everything is perfect now. I was telling me from another angle, get me from that angle. Do a filter on my face. Everything has to be perfect now. Nothing's like a funny caught off guard moment.

Some of you may not even realize this, but they used to sell right before digital cameras came out. The camera companies, mainly Kodak, developed a disposable camera. So it had, like, 40 about the disposable camera. Okay. So it had, like, 45 exposures in it. But you would take the picture, and there was no way to see the picture after you took it. You literally looked through a viewfinder. You pressed the button and hope that the camera actually caught that particular photograph.

Yeah. You got what you got when I was cleaning, you got doubles.

You got doubles. And hope the guy at the little fucking creepy stand in the middle of the parking lot yeah. Wasn't looking through your pictures, but they were when the guy came to when we redid this whole studio, chrissy, I found a bag with ten disposable cameras in it.

Undeveloped.

Undeveloped. What? And I was talking to somebody about this. I will go get them developed.

Please do.

They may be the only pictures of me in my 20s, because I took no photographs in my 20s. None. Zero. I can't find any. There's one or two, but they're other people's photographs, and I don't own them. Right?

Yeah.

And so I'm going to get them developed. And I think I know what might be on a couple of these. A road trip that me and at the time, my roommate and good friend took from Atlanta to drop her off in California so she could go to school. She'd get her graduate degree. It was this one last hurrah we were going to have. It was like a ten day trip across country. She was Mormon. She didn't drink. She didn't like all, but by the end of it but by the end of it, I got her to drink. That's right. That was the time when I went to Vegas, and the two security guards had to carry me to my room and drop me off on my bed. And this girl Amber, who I was friends with, was in the other bed in the room. We were just when they she said when they dropped me off, they literally kind of, like, drag me in, put me on the threw me on the bed. You know, in Vegas, a lot of the casino workers will go, good luck. Right? That's their thing. They say good luck or not.

Instead know, have a good day or whatever. They go, Good luck. So when they drop me off, they plunk me on the bed, and they look at Amber and they go, good luck. Your problem now, O'shanahans, is where I stayed, I think some shit like that. O'shanahans. I'm going to coachella to see diplo.

There's an Irish hotel in Vegas.

There is. It's called O'Shaughnessy's is actually what it's called. Used to be like, one of those casinos leftover casinos from the know. Shitty funny. They had know, little people. Leprechauns would stand outside and hand out free drink tickets.

There's their theme.

Yeah. And they would, like, run across the bar. It was a rather ruckus it was the kind of place where you had 50 cent blackjack hands. You know what I'm saying? You didn't even have to put a dollar down. You put a couple of coins down. It was my kind of place.

Dueling pianos.

Dueling pianos. For sure. There were dueling pianos. That's right. And so I just went out because Amber wouldn't or not she wouldn't. She didn't want to. Right.

It wasn't not the way you wanted.

Oh, my God, dude, I got myself in so much trouble. I had three different best friends during that night. All the three of them I met at the bar, and we just traveled. I was just traveling down.

None of them helped you out?

None of them. I probably paid for all their drinks. Probably on Amber's credit card. I don't even remember.

Oh, my.

Gosh.

Oh, Shanahan's has dollar beers. I'm going to go down there. Sure. Just come back in one piece. Amber was the sweetest. She was the nicest. I loved her so much. She was my hodley before my hodley. What's that?

I said, did she get a graduate degree?

That I know of.

That's good. She was your holy before the holy.

She was my holy before the hodley. She really was.

And I swooped right on, I guess, after her.

You did? Pretty shortly thereafter, actually. Yeah, maybe a couple of years. Well, then I met my ex wife, and her and I got married, and I met you at the end of that relationship, which lasted all of two months. My marriage. All of two months. I broke a new land speed record on my marriage. We were divorced before we even said I knew it's. When that therapist told me I shouldn't get married, we went to a couple's therapist. Therapist told us not to get married, but we were like but the invitations.

This work.

We got it.

At least for the wedding.

Despite your 35 years of experience, we're going to make this work. That's right. Wait, hold on. You're going to tell us you wanted to put the party on hold?

Yeah, no, we've got it. The ice sculpture has been ordered.

I've already ordered 30 kids margaritas. I already got a cocaine connection down at the resort where we're going. What are you talking about? It's $50 a plate, of which I'll eat none of it. I'll be too smashed.

Right.

And I didn't, just to let you know. Okay, well, listen, we'll get back to.

The back to well, let's just recircle back around. So Britney Spears was one of the topics?

Yes. Jada Pinkett.

I did. I listened to a little podcast with her, actually, on Fresh.

What do you think about all of that?

I don't know.

I don't know either.

Kind of like okay, yeah, jade is.

Entitled to her life.

Yeah.

I don't really care, but when you.

Put it out there for everybody in this very intimate book that she wrote that I've only read experts of. I don't actually own the book and I haven't read it, but it feels to me like it's so injurious to Will Smith. It's so kind of like raw and painful for no reason. I don't know.

Yeah.

I don't know to say we haven't been married for six months. I never wanted to marry. Mean, it's just like this crazy shit.

Yeah, they've been separated for like six years.

It seems hurtful for no reason, doesn't it?

Yeah, I do. Sorry, I keep clearing my throat.

No, me too.

Allergies around here in Atlanta.

Crazy.

I mean, it's full blown fall and it's gorgeous outside, but there's something in the trees that are shaking out.

The only three fucking days a year that we get that are nice are.

The worst allergy days of the year, spring and fall.

Yeah, you get three nice days, but you're down in bed because you can't breathe. Listen to my voice.

I was, like blowing my nose before.

Jada. To me, I applaud the honesty.

I mean, it sounds like it was more for her. She needed to get it at a therapist. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? You do that at a therapist.

But I guess in the process you sell some books.

You sell some books and you get some more viewers on that red circle or whatever, red table, whatever you're doing. But it seems to me like she's had a very odd string of admissions and conversations, and they all seem to be very provocative in a way that denotes I need to sell the book. Right. And I'm not saying that there's not truth in there. There probably is. But it feels to me like this man you say you honor so much, Will Smith, and I'm sure they had conversation about this beforehand. I don't think she went and wrote this without Will at least reading the book one time. But I don't think Will has the gumption to tell Jada no anyway, nor should she listen. She's her own person. She can do what she wants to do. But it just seems so injurious to him. I'm not a big fan of Will Smith at all, but it seems pretty painful that you would just drudge all that stuff up on and you know, all these different places that, by the way, I don't love my husband enough to be with him. And all she did was talk about Tupac Shakur the whole time, and it's like, come on, man.

Yeah, she was kind of giving the same press junket because that's the thing that I heard about, too. Yeah, whatever. Each to their own. Brit Britt, on the other hand britt.

Britt is a hot mess, and she has been through some shit. If half the stuff in that book is true that I've been reading, that.

Is no wonder she's acting crazy on Instagram.

Now I think it's clear that she's got a mental illness. Right. And I don't think that's something to be poked at. No, but if you watch, I started following her on Instagram. She does all these weird cheerleader moves. Yeah. But it's all the same dance where she's just moving her hands around and doing this. She was clinking the knifes, and she had cuts all over her legs. What are you doing? But then the revelation that her and Justin were pregnant at one point and he encouraged her to get an abortion. Maybe that was a smart move at the time. That obviously a decision between two adults. Then Justin broke up with her by text. Is Justin Timberlake becoming kind of like just the douchebag we never knew?

Yeah, I guess.

Or was he always the douchebag, and I just was never paying attention?

Yeah. And I always liked him, but now some things are coming out. But who didn't do bad things? Like, who didn't do douchey things in their early 20s?

Well, I think this brings up a.

Good point that I late teens, early 20s.

We've said this before on the show. Cancel culture always comes back around. You do what you're doing in 2023 because you have the information that you have in 2023. In 1993, I was doing the things that people were doing in 1993. I held some beliefs that you had in 1993 because that was the social norm or the generally accepted consensus at that time. We are all guilty of it, no matter how much of a contrarian you are. That's right. We're evolving. So when you do stupid things when you're a teenager, your early 20s or many years ago, that's because you were a different human being then.

True.

I think there are some things that are inexcusable and have always been bad. Right. Homophobia, religious bigotry, racism, violence against women, misogyny, all those.

Yeah, there's some core things.

There's some core things that have always just been bad.

But like, the way you handle a no, that's pretty shitty, what he did. But I can't really fault think about poor Christina talking about all of the.

Crazy guys that she's dating, ghosting and all of that.

I don't know how it's that much different.

It's not that much different. And if I reviewed every breakup that I ever had I mean, I broke up with one girl 116 times, and she was just one chick. Right. I imagine probably half of those were by text message. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Because that was done. Yeah. That's what the situation called for. You didn't want to tussle, so you just said it's. It we're done.

Yeah. And we're also only getting one side of the story. We're not getting the other side.

My side the truth.

Right.

I'm just sharing that with you. It's the truth because it's my side of the story. But I agree with, you know, maybe some. Of these things that seem so outlandish now were not outlandish back then or the situation we aren't involved in. So we don't know. What I do know about Britney Spears is it seems like she is a troubled human being and I hope that she's getting the help and the support that she needs because all you have to do is watch a couple of those Instagram videos and you can see that Britney, she's not there. She's like something's going on, but she's not there.

She is there.

I'm going to show this video one time where she's doing all these hand movements.

I've seen a lot of it.

Then go to the next video, same hand movements, same bikini. Then the next video, same hand movements, same bikinis. Goes on for months and months.

Her body looks sick. Good for her on that.

Hey, listen, I wish I had that body.

But, yeah, she does seem to be kind of losing it.

This is a prime example of what was acceptable back then that may not be acceptable now. Imagine now in 2023, a 16 year old Britney Spears comes out on the scene with her in basically no clothing, dancing around a school hall in a schoolgirl outfit at 16 or 17 years old. However, she how rolled she was at that time, hyper sexualized. Right. I don't know that in 2023 that a lot of people would go, oh, that's perfectly acceptable. No problem there. Yeah, I know, but I want to think so. I knew you were going to react.

Like that what 14 year olds are wearing.

Yes, I have, and it's just terrible.

You're scared.

I am scared. I should be scared. I think I should be scared.

You should be.

All right, so let's do this. Let's take a quick break and then I want to get to my mom. My mom's coming on the show. She's here to answer some of your questions, tell us some stories. And it was her birthday yesterday, so I thought it was a good time to bring her on. So let's take a short break and then we'll be back with ask Brian's mom.

Yeah, Brian, we get it. But back to me. I mean, this TCB promo, leave us a voicemail at six two six. Ask TCB three and you might just hear yourself on the show. Want to text us instead? Lucky for you, we also have a number just for that. Text us at eight five five, TCB 8383. And give us compliments. You can also always go to tcbpodcast.com for all of our audio and video. Find us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at tcbpodcast and find us on Youtube.com, thecommercial break for fully edited episodes. Now that that's done, let's listen to a few sponsors and get back to this episode of the commercial break.

All right, back from break and super excited because we have my mom. Now, we asked listeners a couple of you know, throughout the last month to write in questions that they had for my mom. A number of people did. I weeded through. Some of them were inappropriate ones for my mom, but I thought I'd bring my mom back on. Mom, are you there?

I'm here.

There she is. Mom, is Judge Judy on right now?

Yes, she is.

Mom, I thought Judge Judy I thought Judge Judy quit.

No, honey, she can't quit.

No, I'm being serious. I think she quit her oh, yeah, these are oh, okay. So how are you going to get the new show? It's only online.

I know I can't get it. I have to watch the reruns every day. Well, but that's okay, because you know what?

You don't have a memory, so you can't remember them.

That's true. It doesn't bother me. That the repeat.

If you love a show, you can watch. I've watched Seinfeld 1 million times.

I've watched the west.

Yeah.

I'm on my 40th rewatch.

I'm all good with it.

And she's like the commercial break. She's got 10,000 episodes, Judge Judy does. So I don't think you're ever going to run. She is funny.

She's so direct. I love that about her.

Mom, it was your birthday yesterday. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Thank you. It was fun.

Mom, before we get into some of the listeners questions, last episode, you and I, or Chrissy and I were here speaking, and I remembered, like, vaguely remembered, but it's kind of coming back to me that when I was a kid in Chicago, you were doing some kind of MLM selling. Am I right about that? Some kind of multi level marketing selling? Yes. What was the name of that company?

Well, actually, I work for two companies, but one was called Country Peddler, and then another one was Country Peddler. And then I also was a demonstrator in the grocery stores for Procter and Gamble.

Oh, I do remember that. So you'd go and, like, cook.

Do you remember that?

I do remember you being yeah, you do.

Sampling for people. It was so oh, God, I thought I really had a career.

You did have a career. I mean, look at those people at Costco. They're still doing it.

Yeah. Now my publix offers it all the time.

Your publix does? Yeah, we used to at my publix, we used to have a guy that would cook meals, like, right around lunch and dinner time, he would cook a meal and then serve it up in.

These little small portions of food.

It really is. And then you have all the ingredients sitting out. But they stopped that at my publix. It's totally gone, and I don't know why. And the guy was like he was the guy every time you went saw the guy, you made friends with him, you said hello. How did you get involved in being a demonstrator for Procter Gamble?

I really don't know. I just happened to be available and they called me.

They called you? They like cold called?

Not they didn't cold call me. They sent me a letter saying that they were in the area. Yeah, probably a telegraph.

Pigeons.

They paid you?

Actually, it was a man on a horse. He just delivered it to my door. But anyway, they sent me a letter saying that they were looking for good salespeople for the grocery stores. They were called Jewel. That was the name of the grocery store. And so I decided to answer it because we always wanted extra money. I had four kids. As long as it was on the weekend when dad was home with kids, it worked out great. So I just went there, and that's what I did. Wore a little pink apron.

Wow. Things were so different then. Things were so different then. But talk about country peddler, which is what I'm more interested in because I don't think Procter and Gamble is an MLM as much as I'd like to. I think they turned out just fine. But this country peddler. How the fuck did you get involved in country peddler?

And what a terrible someone introduced her.

Well, yes, what happened was in where we lived was suburban, and there was a lot of mostly were housewives with their children at home and all that stuff. So their only time to really break loose away from the kids was when they put the kids to bed. And they would have did you have a Tupperware party, mom? I never had a Tupperware party because that didn't interest me. But country peddler did because it was all kinds of at that time, country style decorating and everything was all and it was just great, and everybody loved it. So I would go from home to home on the weekends at night, and the girls would have their neighbors in, and they would make drinks. Otherwise they probably wouldn't have bought a DM thing, right?

Yeah.

Did you make any money doing that?

Oh, yeah.

You did?

Worked on commission? I worked on commission.

And then whenever they bought was there an upline? Was there someone who brought you in and then you had to bring other people in to sell, or were you just actually selling their shit?

I was just actually selling their shit. I don't recall if I brought anybody in because I took care of the entire Orland Park area.

I know not where you would think country peddler would be doing well.

Would it be doing well now?

No. Country peddler? No. Mommy. Mommy.

See, my son's got to be in therapy.

Vicki Green the reason four therapists in the greater Atlanta area are making bank.

Well, anybody that knows me usually has to be in therapy for a certain amount of time to get over it.

We were just talking about this about things that were things back then that might have been a little bit acceptable that are definitely not now. And I do remember one thing about Country Peddler is that they sold those fucking picking innies, which is just awful.

Oh, I was going to bring that up. Well, it's a different day and time now. First of all, I've always loved black people. One of my best friends here is a black person, okay? So I already had that feeling to begin with.

Mom, you realize that's what racist people say right before they start talking. I love black people.

I have a black friend.

Yeah, that's what you just said.

I know, but what I meant is I do. But anyway, the point is we never had any black people in our community or anything, and I always found them very disattractive and kind, and I just loved them.

Well, I wish they were like everybody else. To me, I will say this. You did teach us that when we were kids, because I do remember sitting in front of the TV, there was an Oprah episode on. They were talking about racism. This girl was crying because she was like a younger girl and she had been bullied in school because she was the only black child, you know, the black person in the school. And I remember that not only was Oprah crying and the little girl crying, but you were also crying, and you were telling me how you can never judge a book by its cover, treat everybody equally. And I remember that kind of being beat into our heads as kids. And so I appreciate your liberal sense of social view because I picked it up and I agree with it. But when you did Country Peddler, was it like you would invite people over to the house and they would sit and you would demonstrate.

Invite people over to the house originally to familiarize the neighbors with what I did. And then what happened is they would then go to their neighborhood and say, why don't we have a demonstration? And then they would call me and make appointments to have demonstrations. Very interesting.

Wow, this might oh, it was great. Country Peddler was flying off.

We sold a lot of picking innis. I even had them in my house. I thought they were all they were was little black dolls. They were darling.

Yeah, but I think the connotation around a picking any was that they were slave characters.

Right, but you didn't think of that at the time. You were just thinking they were decorations.

Maybe not. Maybe not. Listen, and I don't shy away from this conversation because it is reflective of what we were just talking about, which is each day in time has its certain general consensuses and opinions. And those were extraordinarily popular, not only in people's homes, but they were decorations around. You don't see them very often anymore, and when you do, they certainly have a different connotation now than they did back then. But let me ask you about something completely irrelevant to this conversation.

Okay.

We went to your birthday party last night. We went to dinner last night, and one of the reasons why it prompted me to get on here and start talking, having this conversation is because you were telling me about a lady who got her tongue replaced with a piece of her leg.

Yes.

Can you share this story with me, with the listeners?

This is a public service announcement. I want to stay there, but living in a retirement home, you come up with all kinds of people with all kinds of issues, and there's some very delicate, sensitive issues, and they have a.

Beauty shop here, like your leg as part of your tongue.

We have a lady here. We had a lady here, and she was my beautician because we had a little beauty shop, and she was probably about 68 years old. But the public service announcement is she smoked like a fiend for many years, always on a smoke break, just like you. So one day yes, like I don't do anymore after six years.

But anyway, congratulations on that too, Vicky. That's something to be proud of.

Thank you. Well, that was because of Irving. He wanted me to quit, and I did. I don't know why everybody else wanted me to quit, but anyway oh, he's so darling. Well, he was.

He was.

But anyway, what happened was she had, like, a little sore on her tongue, and she went to the doctor and they did a biopsy on it, and it was cancerous. They also did a biopsy on a tumor on her throat. So what she ended up having to do, they told her, was they removed half her tongue and replaced it with tissue from her leg to make a new tongue. And then she had to wear a mask, of course, because then she was very susceptible to any kind of illnesses. And then they also put a feeding tube in because she could no longer eat. She lost, like, 30 pounds in six weeks. I'll tell you what, I wish we could have that medicine.

But anyway, was she susceptible to toe fungus? Like after she did she keep smoking?

Did she keep smoking?

Yes, she just kept smoking. Well, no, after she had her tongue removed and after she had to wear a mask in the beauty shop all the time, did she just come in to visit and you couldn't understand a word she said? It made no sense, anything she said, because her tongue wasn't really working. And then she had the mask on and the whole deal was bad. She was limping around because her leg was half gone.

Oh, my God.

I just have this thought of, like, a baby foot.

Like.

When they're trying to talk, baby.

Foot just comes flying out.

But she didn't have any lips either, right? They cut off her lips.

No, her lips were fine. The gal that I sit with every day for lunch is 96 years old, and she's had her trials and tribulations with cancer. She's very tiny and probably weighs 100 pounds soaking wet. But she had bouts of cancer throughout her growing up years and everything. And what they had to do is remove her lips because she had cancer.

So now listen to this. Hold on. Stop the story right there. So now listen to what my mom gets her for her birthday. What did you get her for her birthday?

Mom? Lipstick.

Lady lipstick.

Mom. Because she always puts blush on and she puts her eye makeup on. And the problem was, when she closes her mouth, she looks like she has no teeth because her lips suck in. But when she's talking, you can see the coloration of lips, but they're really not there. So I decided that she always wants to know what color lipstick I wear, so I decided to give her a present to throw some lipstick. I thought so, but it didn't work out because then when she smiled, the lipstick ended up under her nose. And she had a big nose. She still has a big nose. So it was kind of sad. But she did enjoy it. She said, It feels kind of good. I said, well, you could put it on every morning if you want to. She says, yeah, but I can't see very well, as you can see by the way I draw my eyebrows in. And second of all, her eyebrows are like, oh, my God, all over the place. And I understand it because I have to draw mine in, and some days I don't have a good day. I can look like a Jackalant or.

For God's sake, mom. But it's like a comedy show going on over at that place where you live between Irving the lady with a horse tongue and with no lips. My mom got a lipstick. Okay, mom. Hold on. Stay right there. We've got a few questions. We got a few questions from the listeners for you. We've been asking them, but we need to take a short break.

Okay.

Now let's listen to some sponsors and get this show going.

Okay? And we're back with my mom, Brian's. Mom. Hi, mom. Okay. Mom, hi. I know you have a story about Irving that you wanted to tell, but we have just a few minutes left in the show, about 1520 minutes left in the show, and I wanted to make sure we got to a couple of listener questions for you specifically. So here we go. You ready? Okay, so the first question comes from Rachel. Hi, TCB. This is Rachel with a question for Brian's mom. She says, and I'm truncating this because it was very long and I'm just putting kind of the details in it brian's mom, I want to wait until marriage to have sex with my fiance, but he insists we should consummate the relationship ahead of time so that we understand each other sexually. What are your thoughts? What would you have done?

Well, actually, this is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about because Irving said to me one day, after I knew him for about three months, we used to sit and watch TV together. He wanted to neck or bake out, make out, heavy petting. What do they call it?

Heavy petting.

Yeah. Dry humping.

Yeah, but just in your mouth, not anything else. But anyway, so I asked Astrid and Brian, what should I do? And they said, well, you know him for three months. Of course you can make out. But see, I left him real fast and said, this is not my thing. He was very sexual. He's very intelligent and very sexual. But I, on the other hand, was.

I met the guy so many like, I know the guy. I met him a lot of times.

Right?

I would not say that there was anything highly sexual about Swerving Irving.

Well, you didn't know him in the room.

I wasn't sleeping with him.

So he asked me to spend the night with him one night. I did not know night. I got a nightgown. Pretty nightgown. I ordered one off a QVC, which is my favorite home shopping network. Network that I never am on anymore because I spent too much money. But anyway, the point is that I went to his room and we got in bed together. He had on some kind of boxers or something and a T shirt and I had on my nightgown. And we just cuddled up together because he was out of commission. He told me he's out of commission before that. And like I told him, I've been out of business for longer even than that, so don't worry about it.

What do you mean? He told you I was out of commission? Like his dick didn't work right.

He was 86 years old.

Well, God bless.

And he tried Niagara, but he said it had no effect on him, just.

Gave him a headache.

I was lucky.

You got to be careful because what if that lady could take Viagra and her tongue would be hard, the whole.

Riot. But anyway, so we get in bed and he says, I got a surprise for you. So I thought maybe his Viagra worked. So he pulled his boxer shorts out and said, look. And I said, what is that? He said, I have no underwear now. It's a diaper. And I thought to myself, Something's wrong here. Something's wrong here. You come into the world, you have a diaper, and you turn 86 years old and you have a diaper? Except you're not cute at that age.

Mom. Hold on. I've never heard this story. Irving.

Surprise. I shit myself.

Can you change my diaper?

Come over here.

You didn't want me to be his caretaker, which I told that's good because I have no intention of it.

A mom. No, that's insane.

Things that happen.

Yeah, that's insane. So, I never knew that you spent the night at his house? First of all, I thought you guys were like purely kind of like platonic. Maybe kissed every once in a while, but necked, heavy petting. Whatever you call it. So you went up to his room, bought a new nightgown for the occasion. You thought you guys were going to get it on? Or that's what I assumed. You assumed? And then he says, I have a surprise.

I knew we were just going to snuggle because that's all we ever did. And kiss. I thought we'd just do that for the night. It'd be fine. So, anyway. Well, Connie, I'd been out of business for many years so believe me, nothing was going to be happening on my end.

Okay. But then he pulls down his pants to reveal his diaper. Why was he proud?

She's been wanting to talk to you.

About I just wanted to let you know that I have a diaper now. And I said there is a big age difference between us. Honey, I'm still not in the diaper yet.

Oh, my God.

Mom.

Oh, my God. So, why have you been waiting to talk to me about this? What kind of conversation?

Because you never asked me. You're always busy with your mind someplace else. So you don't ask me these things. So, how do you know?

Mom, I got to tell you even if my mind was in other places I don't think this is a story I would have ever I mean, it's not something I would have ever asked you.

She wanted to talk about it.

Yeah, well, listen, everybody needs a friend, right? Okay, so what about Rachel? Would you rachel.

How I feel about premarital sex? I think sex is great as far as petting and all that stuff. But I have a friend, a very close friend that wanted to sleep with every guy that she met. And she was 77 years old. And she used to call me and say how come none of the men ever tell me they love me? But you got this guy, and he's always telling you he loves you. And I said, Because, honey, there's got to be mystery in the relationship. I wouldn't jump right into it. I'd keep it mysterious. Rachel? That's your answer?

There you go. Listen, first of all, I can't believe that someone that's waiting for premarital sex is actually a listener of the commercial break. I find that to be unbelievable in and of itself. But to Rachel, I think my mom gives some prudent advice. If your fiance and you really love him and the two of you are on the same page, and you feel very strongly about premarital sex and he is trying to push you toward premarital sex, maybe he's not taking into consider duration your feelings 100%. And you should just share with him that this is the way that you want it to be. And if you guys are meant to be married, then he'll deal with it. But I am a big believer. On the other hand, I am a big believer that you need to take the car out for a test drive before you actually purchase it. I mean, I can't imagine getting married to someone without having sex beforehand, but that's my own personal perspective. Yeah.

I mean, I think it matters, too, with the person. Some people.

I didn't have premarital sex with your dad.

Well, that's good information.

On our honeymoon, we had to call the people that were a married couple that stood up with us. And on the honeymoon, I put my Pen Noir set in pink and so pretty and everything. And then we sat on the edge of the bed and I called this friend and I said, what do we do now? I said, I don't want to take off my Nikon. It's so pretty. They said Bill would figure it out, and he did. But I wasn't into that, and I'm still not into it. I think that you should use discretion, and if he's trying to push you into it, you need to join The Bachelor or something and get a date some other way.

Okay, yeah. You might not be the right guy.

Right.

This is way more information than I ever needed to know about my parents or my mom or any of that stuff. But okay, let's roll with it at this point. I'm the one who opened this can of worms. I guess I'll have to close it. Okay, so, Rachel, there's your advice for my mom. Leave a little mystery in the relationship. It's never a bad thing. Okay, this second question says, hi, Brian's mom. You remind me of my mom, who also happens to be from Chicago. She passed away. So can you help me? My boyfriend and I have been dating for three years. About a year and a half ago, I went out on a girls trip and I slept with another man. It only was one night. I was really drunk. I never talked to the guy afterwards. I don't even have his phone number. I have been having a guilty conscience, but my friends are telling me not to say anything because it'll ruin an otherwise fantastic relationship. What should I do?

Age old question.

The old question do you tell or don't you tell?

How long have they been together? Three years. That's a while.

I think after three years. I've been with Irving for six and a half years and we couldn't do anything because everything was out of commission.

Yeah, it was off the table.

I don't think I'd be telling people about that. I don't think you need to be telling anybody about that. That's between you and the person you slept with. Even if it's only one night, if you had a thrill. Well, life goes on. It's okay. Go to church and say a prayer.

I think I have to kind of agree with my mom here. Listen, I understand the truth is always the best policy, but if this guy hasn't found out, and there is no chance of him finding out, telling him is only going to serve one purpose. It's going to clear your conscience, but it's going to hurt him. And so is there.

She maybe doesn't need to be with the guy for three years, then oh.

You think they should break up?

Well, I don't know. If there was that chance that presented itself and she took it. Yeah, I don't know if there's then the other relationship.

So you think she should say something so he has the opportunity?

I don't think you have to say anything. Maybe you don't have to hurt the guy that way, but reevaluate how you actually feel about your current boyfriend.

Yeah, and she said this was a year and a half ago, right. So it was halfway into the relationship. They'd not been together for a year and a half without him knowing. And it sounds yeah, but now I've changed my mind. I've changed my mind. Live here on air. I agree with Chrissy. If you can't trust yourself to be with yourself, even for one night alone when you get drunk and you're making these terrible decisions, maybe you should evaluate your life decisions and not evaluate the relationship, because maybe the relationship is the last thing you need now. I don't know that for sure. We don't know all the particulars. It's not a particularly detailed email text message that was sent to us. But it's kind of like there was this question going around the internet for a while, mom. And it had to do with this very popular radio show where a famous musician, his girlfriend had supposedly cheated on him, and his best friend told him that his girlfriend cheated on him. He told his best friend, I don't want to know about it. If my girl's out, I don't want to know about it.

Because if I don't know about it, then it doesn't matter, right? In other words, hear no evil, see no evil. I don't know. Chrissy and I don't subscribe to that same theory. Yeah, we feel like if someone was cheating on us, we definitely want to know. We definitely want to understand what kind of person that we're in bed with. And I guess you never really know the person that. You're sleeping with. But at the end of the day, for me, cheating is a no go. Like, you cheat, you're done. Yeah.

I don't go for that, either.

I don't go for that. Don't go for that.

I don't go for that either. Baby, remember, we're in the south now. We're only happy if somebody's singing through their nose and strumming a guitar.

Oh, mom. That is mom, that's the kind of.

Entertainment we get in here.

You mean at your place? That's all you get is country singers?

No. Little jazz, nothing?

No. People here don't understand jazz. Are you kidding? They have to have a story that's sad. And everybody's breaking up and somebody's going, and my baby was with me when I died. Oh, my God. I don't go to those performances.

Well, Brian and I are going to open the largest honky tonk in the world. In the world.

Yeah.

Epic Guinness.

Chrissy and I have an idea to open a place called Cowboys honky Tonk. The largest honky tonk in the world.

Wild Bill. That's right.

Come to a retirement home, you, too, can be a honky tonker.

Sounds good.

Okay, one more question. Mom, do you watch 90 Day Fiance?

Yes, I do.

Do you watch 90 Day Fiance? Last Chance Island?

Last Resort?

Last Resort?

Oh, it's The Last Resort, the one where they're I would say I know. I do watch it.

Okay.

And I love it.

Do.

You do too, Vicky?

So I wanted to bring this up. I love it, too, but I'm like.

Five different or six different actual shows related to the franchise. Right. There are six different shows after during Love Island almost. We almost did it.

Yeah.

And then there's just Angela and Michael, period.

Yeah. Then there's just Angela, Michael. But let me ask you this. So on this Last Chance island or this Last resort island, whatever last resort. There is Kalani and the Oswalo, right? The guy from no Samboa Nigeria or something. Samoa.

Samoa.

Zimboa. Samboa zimboni.

Yeah. Samoa.

Samoa. He's a Samoan. And then Kalani is also Samoan. But she's an American Samoan. He's actually off the island Samoa. And so the revelation comes that during The Last Resort, which is a place where all these couples that are having trouble in their relationship are going to get therapy and sex therapy and all this other stuff. So Kalani and Oswuelo, we learn that Oswuelo has been cheating on Kalani almost the entirety of their relationship. He's been on sex cams, he's been chatting up women. He had made out with a couple of girls or a girl or whatever. But then Kalani's response to that is to get into a long term sexual relationship with someone. And she even invited him down to the actual island, where the Last Resort is to have sex behind Oswuelo's back.

So while they're getting marriage therapy yes.

While they're getting marriage therapy.

Active marriage therapy.

Right.

So they're getting marriage therapy to help fix this whole cheating situation. And she has decided the best way to solve the problem is to do more cheating and actual cheating where there's like, a relationship involved. So have you seen this? Have you been watching this?

Yes, I have.

What do you think about all this? What do you think about it, Chrissy?

I'll let Vicki answer, mom.

Oh, no, that's okay. Go ahead, Chrissy.

Go ahead.

Are you going to say, well, I think it's wrong?

Totally.

I mean, if she wants to do that, then just go ahead and end things with Oswuelo. It sounds like it's been a bad road anyways. Cut ties, move on.

But if you know who we're talking about, the people that are listening, if you saw what clowney looked like, I can understand why Osuela was cheating, because she's about 900 pounds and he's about 50 pounds on a good day, and she's just gross.

Well, mom, besides the fat shaming that was going on there, I have to.

Share with you, so I have a right to do that.

Well, that's true. Okay. You are a large and in charge.

Of the thigh.

You want to know what Irving said to me the first time I ever met him? I was in the dining room, and he said he was very quiet man, but he came by and asked if he could sit at the table with me and a couple other gals that worked there, and I said, yes. And he said I said to him, later we went out in the lobby and started visiting and everything, which we did constantly after that. And he said, you know what I love about you? You remind me of a bird. And I said, what do you mean, like Big Bird? Or what's the story on that? And he says, no, you use your hands and your arms so gracefully and you have expression on your face. It just reminds me of a bird. He said, now, you are kind of a big Bird. But that's okay.

He didn't even know who Big Bird was. At least he was honest. I have to say that I think the Asuelo Kalani situation is terrible.

And I think yeah.

In fighting fire with fire is not the right solution.

I think the whole thing is complicated because Asuelo is coming from a tiny island nation and has been sheltered, and all he knew was, like, the tourism industry and just kind of like yeah.

He was very grew up, very sheltered. He didn't have any sex education. His education ended at everybody wanted to.

Have as many children as possible. It was okay to have mistresses. It was okay to do all of that in his culture.

He learned quickly.

Yeah. And then he comes to this country and have a couple of kids.

No, it's a bad situation.

He seems like a nice guy, really, but I think but I think their relationship needs to be oh, I think.

The relationship is over, and if we could get to a TLC, I would appreciate it. Like, if we could finally get to the conclusion, I would appreciate it, because it just seems to me like they're dragging this shit out. They're just dragging it and dragging it and dragging it. Okay, mom, listen, we got to wrap up. We're going to have you back soon. There are actually four more questions that the audience had for you, but we just didn't have time to get to it today since we had that diaper story and your casual racism and fat shaming.

I am not racist.

No, I know you're not. You raised me right. I know you're not. And it's know we're telling stories from a different time. But listen, I love you. The audience loves you. We'll have you back soon.

We love you, Vicki.

Okay, Christy, thank you very much. Also, honey, thank you for my birthday.

Oh, you're welcome.

It was wonderful.

We're obligated to celebrate it, so might as well do it right.

Did you go to Olive Garden?

No, we went to an even worse restaurant. I won't name the name.

I saved that for Kevin twin brother. He went there, and he said, oh.

My God, Kevin has a gut of steel. I do not. All right, mom, we love you, and we'll talk to you.

Okay. Okay, bye bye.

All right, there's my mom in all her glory and all her.

I don't.

Even know what to think about that appearance. Yeah.

When the diaper talk came out I know. And neglige.

I know. Between the diaper talk, the casual racism, and the fat shaming, I didn't know. I didn't know what to think. Well, we'll see if this episode ever airs. Thank you very much.

You could probably cut up parts of it.

We'll figure it out. If you're listening to this right now, just know that we cut up this episode for legal purposes.

PSA.

Oh, my God. God bless America. All right, Tcbpodcast.com. That's where you go. You find out more information about Chrissy and I. All the audio, all the video right there from one location. Also, get your piggy fronting commercial, brake, bumper sticker. They're going out the door. You can go to the website, hit the Contact US button, the drop down menu, give us your physical address. We send those out every five to ten days, so yours will be on your way. Also, six two six, ask TCB. The number three. That's 1626. Ask TCB. The number three. You can text us or leave us a voicemail, and you might be on the commercial break. So if you don't want your name used, then don't use your name. I can always cut it out, but just don't use your name. It's probably the best policy. Also, would you do us a favor? Go to Instagram at the commercial break TikTok TCB podcast. Go to one of those two places or both of them. Would you do us a favor and follow us? You can also write us a nice review on any of the players that you listen to the podcast on.

We certainly would appreciate it. It helps get the word out. It's just generally a good look. And we love those Apple reviews. We love to read.

We're going to start reading them.

Yeah, we're going to start reading them. So give us a good Apple review. We'll read it. We'll shout out your name. We'll even read the bad ones because those are the fun ones. It's not the good ones I think are fun. It's the bad ones that I think are fun. So you got the phone number, you got the socials, you know, the website. Finally, Youtube.com slash thecommercial break. That's Youtube.com slash thecommercial break. Fully edited episodes are there, available for you. We have shorts. We have clips. We're putting together a new clip channel. So we just love it if you would go follow us at YouTube and we'll get a little bit more involved in the video. Okay, Chrissy, now, what a ride. What a ride. I definitely know that's all I can do today, but I will say that I think so. I love you.

I love you.

And best to you. Best to you, also. Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Thanks very much for listening. Chrissy and I always say, we do say, and we must say goodbye. It's.
